About me
I was born in 1978 in Moldova which was a part of the Soviet Union then. I Have finished the high school and started the University studies towards a degree in Computers Science and Marketing. In 1998 repatriated to Israel where I studied Physics for two years and started the professional career.
The interest in computers and all the surrounding technologies started to develop when I was eleven. Since then I worked in various big and small companies achieving wide expertise in TLC an IT areas growing up from first level technical support to system and network architect.
Since 2004 I am working in Italy as an independent ICT consulter on projects for companies ranging from small startups to big enterprises.
During 10 years of professional career I have gathered significant experience in various areas of ICT. The strong wish to learn and to discover always pushed me toward new technologies and made me to be what I am now in in means of professionalism.
Starting from 2000 I have entered the FOSS world and since then I am inspired by the ideas behind it and participate in projects involving it.
In last few years I also grew up administratively and started to enjoy project management aspects of the ICT business handling both the team management and client relationships.
